Above is a shot across Jones Street of the future North Carolina Education Campus as you exit the Nature Research Center. Three cranes have been actively moving materials throughout the year to piece together the State of North Carolina’s latest office building.

The block just north of the Nature Research Center, shown above, has been mostly cleared. The surface parking lot has been removed and all the trees are gone as construction of the North Carolina Education Campus is in its early stages.

Adopted this July, the North Carolina Legislature’s 2022-2023 budget has a few items worth noting for the downtown government office complex. Probably the quietest part of downtown Raleigh, the government complex is a collection of office buildings housing many departments that work and support the state-level government.
